Complete Playthrough #205

Lee Morgan - Cornbread

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 92 - Blur - Modern Life is Rubbish



Love this album, and it’s probably my favourite of the Britpop era.

Rankings so far

Modern Life
Leisure

David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 93 - Blur Chemical World 12”

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 94 - Blur Parklife



Little jump at the start of Parklife, but I think a clean will fix it. At worst, I have the 20th anniversary pressing I can swap in.

Being the “big” album I’ve always kind of dismissed this, but it’s big for a reason. In my head, this would have been last so far in my run-through, but it’s a lot closer to Leisure than I thought, possibly higher.

A-Z 10inch 1 - Blur Live at the BBC

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 95 - Blur - The Great Escape



The album that I thought Parklife was, in terms of being a bit too Brit-poppy (if that makes sense?). The singles would easily hit a best of, but overall it’s got a slightly smug feel about it. Probably being a bit harsh on it to justify its last place in my ranking.

Thanks for the cheap Amz tip.

City and Colour - Guide Me Back Home

Wasn’t it Herbie’s birthday?

Playing this lower grade copy I bargain-binned recently. A bit of crackle (character) but otherwise a pleasant listen.

Yeah that’s exactly my feelings about this. The best of blur’s Britpop stuff has a sort of mixture of a knowing wink and bit of melancholy floating below the surface. On this one the wink did feel like it became a bit of a smug sneer. I do like the singles too, especially The Universal, which is one of their masterpieces.

Got up early this morning to spin some tunes because the wife and I are having a nice little Friday.. a little Home Depot to pick up some wallpaper and flooring, stuff like that. Maybe some Bed, Bath and Beyond.. I don’t know if we’ll have the time..

Today's spins:

Avalon - a PIF from @Turbo (including a nice note!)
Pearl Jam's "No Code" -- a completely immaculate and sealed copy that was $20 from Experience Vinyl because it has "the tiniest bent corner" (that I can't see)
Kid A Mnesia - another generous PIF from @LeSamourai
and sir-not-appearing-in-this-film is the house band at Chez @Mather - Steely Dan's "Aja" -- I had a nice shiny piece o' wax in beat-up "discount great value!" cover and I found an almost perfect gatefold cover (sans record) at a goodwill that I was dropping off old clothes at, this last weekend. The lady tut-tutt'd about how People Are Terrible Why Do They Take The Record And Leave A Mess and since I also made the appropriate shocked Oh You're Right noises, she gave me the cover gratis.
